[Windows 7] Setting up the SMP client (v6.34) - Page 3

post #21 of 1424
Just solved my own problem >.<

You have to log into Install.bat with your Main (that would be the first account you made in windows) credentials regardless of the account your installing it in.

Might want to add that in for n00bs like me who don't know better, and want a account without to much stuff running in the background to get the most folding done.

How did you fix it? I'm having the same problem.

On your first account you made in windows(the master account), set up a password for it. Then when running install.bat use your username/password set up for that first account(master account) NOT for the account your logged into.

Hopefully that made sense :/

No just what I did so I don't have a ****load of stuff running in the background.
You are filling in something for your windows user account password?

I conclude the step to turn off UAC is the step that made running "install.bat" possible without the round about way I did it?

It was at the "additional client parameters' step that I put -smp

What is the current correct response when you get to the "additional client parameters' step?

OH yes I fully agree, great guide and it should pull in more people to help with the work, guaranteed. I have to ask, don't you have to also go to work? (I don't ,just 13 cr hrs of school, but it is not as bad as having to go to work) where do you find the time? I hope the load on you lightens up some.

Last thing is we must change that "Pentium D" in your sig rig.

OH and what about my "Million Point" indicator? It will happen tomorrow
You can add the -smp flag to the client in the "Additional Client Parameters" section so your way works fine. I had them add a flag for two reasons:

1) To learn how to add flags, which they will most likely need in future (-configonly at the very least).
2) Those last 3 settings only take effect after restarting the client. So if they added the -smp flag there the client could have downloaded an a1 core to begin with. Rather than waste time or delete the WU, add the -smp flag to the shortcut.

I will add that in, thank you.
Although, if you install the SMP client on that secondary account, you can log in with that account instead. So if you plan to have a dedicated account for folding, maybe install the clients on that user instead?

No, there's no need for a second account; as he said, it was just for ease.
See above (installing the client in the other account). If that doesn't help, make sure UAC is disabled.

If that still doesn't help, add a screenshot of the error and we'll try work it out.

24,884? Sounds like a -bigadv WU to me? What project number is that?

Just finished setting up one of the rigs--nice guide, zodac.

Couple of questions:

since I'm folding on an i7 (at 4+ghz) should I add the -bigadv flag anywhere? I didn't see it in the instructions but I remember doing that with vmware (-smp 7 -bigadv)

also, windows task manager says about 56% cpu usage--is that what I should be seeing? Again, I'm only used to the vmware way of doing it and that definitely loaded the cpu to 90%+

If you are folding 24/7 on that i7, you'll definitely need to look into -bigadv. You can't run it on the SMP client though, so you'll have to take a look at this VMware guide to run it.

As for CPU usage, you've probably got an a1 core. Just keep at it, and when you get an a3 it'll use 100% of the CPU.

For some reason my install.bat would not run when I double-clicked it.

What I had to do in Windows 7 was, run an Admistrative Command prompt and then cd to where it was and run it from there.

This was 64 bit 7 btw.
